I bought a Rockchip SBC (Orange Pi 5+), and when it worked it was awesome...but man, the software support (mainly kernel space) is just not there. Exercise in frustration to get everything working at the same time.

Currently running armbian. I don't think HW acceleration is working, and I don't think HDMI out is even working, but for my use case it's a stable config...for now.

I think that might be the same RK3588 chip as the Bananapi M7 which I did a write-up on last year. Trying a different kernel might help with your issue - it did for me.

I should probably update the table for trixie.
